Foreign Trade Clothing Guard Against Formaldehyde Content And Ph Value Exceeding The Standard

"The next day I found that the clothes were caused by formaldehyde, and then I found that the clothes were red by formaldehyde Ms. citizen palace called our newspaper and said that those seemingly clean children's clothes have become "invisible killers" threatening children's health.

Wearing clothes without washing can cause allergy

In Ms. Gong's home, the author saw this troubling dress. The dress is a yellow short sleeve, with cute cartoon patterns on it. You can't see any problem with the appearance, but it has a fishy smell when you get it to the nose.

Ms. Gong said that the dress was bought at three stations, which cost only 5 yuan. When buying the dress, the label had been cut, and the owner said it was the foreign trade surplus. The owner said that the smell was caused by overstocking. Just wash it.

When she took the clothes home, the bright colors made her 2.5-year-old granddaughter like them very much. She couldn't wait to put them on. As soon as the children had put them on, Ms. Gong thought that the new clothes they had just bought would not be a big problem if they didn't wash them, so they didn't take them off.

Grandma's sleeping with her all the time. The next night, the child, who had always been sleeping soundly, tossed and hawed all the time. Ms. Gong was surprised that she turned on the light and frightened her. The child's chest and back turned red, and the child kept scratching all the time. Finally, she went to the hospital, took a bottle and took medicine, which cost a total of 577 yuan.

Formaldehyde content exceeded the standard seriously

Looking at the child's uncomfortable appearance, Ms. Gong passed through the exclusion and put her eyes on the clothes. She sent the clothes to the quality supervision department for testing. The Quality Supervision Department concluded that the formaldehyde content seriously exceeded the standard.

Ms. Gong also learned from the experts of the Municipal Bureau of quality supervision. Quality supervision experts said that the public should pay attention to the special smell emitted by textiles, such as musty smell, gasoline and kerosene smell, fishy smell, etc., and pay special attention to clothes with peculiar smell when they are newly opened, which indicates that there are excessive chemical residues on the textiles.

If you buy new clothes, especially those directly in contact with the skin, regardless of the price, you should first clean them and then dry them in the sun. Assuming that the pH value exceeds the standard, cleaning will help to eliminate the damage of clothes to the skin.

　　 Clothes should be marked with formaldehyde content and pH value

So how can citizens know the chemical content of clothing ingredients? The author understands that the national technical code for basic safety of textiles clearly stipulates that all clothing and decorative textiles sold on the market should be clearly marked with product classification on the tags, signs, labels or instructions. Since January this year, the state has also issued a new standard, requiring garment manufacturers to mark the formaldehyde content and pH value, which are the two chemical substances that may be harmful to human body.

Ms. Gong took the author to the shop where she bought clothes at the three stops, but the shop did not open. "The boss of this children's clothing store doesn't come every day, but every time he comes, he will bring in a large number of foreign trade goods."

In several foreign trade stores near Nanhong street, the author saw children's clothes and adults' clothes piled together in disorder, picked up several pieces at random, almost all of them were cut off, and the labels were in pure English, and no words of formaldehyde content or pH value were found. The shopkeeper said: "because of the low price, the sales of children's clothes are very good. We don't choose the styles. We buy a lot of them! It's cheap and affordable. Everyone is willing to pay. "

For example, when the export of formaldehyde is not up to the standard, how can we say that the quality of the remaining products is beyond the standard
